POV: Joocie
     "Addie.." I said looking at her scared. "Don't be scared it's still me" she said noticing I was scared. " b-but your color i-its gone" I said stuttering still terrified.  "What happened?" Squishy said calmer than me. "Well.. I was going back to the beach.. Then I heard something behind me. So I looked and it was a colorless person.. Then I felt something scratch my back and next thing I know my colors gone" she explained. At that moment I started having an anxiety attack.. I could tell the others noticed but I was to panicked to respond. I fell to the ground with my head in my knees. Soon I started crying. I could feel somebody next to me and they asked me if i was ok. I looked to my right to see Axolotl next to me looking at me worryingly. Thoughts started running in my head. Reminding me of the  colorless me I saw. It was real... I started hyperventilating. I could hear Axolotl saying something but I couldn't hear well enough. I felt the others go near me too. Then I realized I couldn't breath.. I can't die again.. Once was enough. I can't stand seeing their faces of sadness and horror when they knew I was dead. Especially Axolotls theirs was the worst. They were devastated. I can't stand to see that again. It already hurt me enough. I don't want it to happen again. Things just started getting better after I died and came back. I didn't want it to end that soon. I- I can't.. I can't die again! It was too late though.. My heartbeat started slowing down. As I lost all my air. My muscles started  giving up. With me laying down now. Crying even more than before. I could feel my eyes starting to close. I heard Axolotl say "no Joocie please! I can't loose you again!"  that made me try harder to stay alive at least a second longer.  Then I started seeing all the memories we had made. All of us together. So happy.. Living life at its greatest.. And now.. Now I've died once about to due again.. Addie lost her color.. We've been through so much.. And it was all in just a few days.. I don't want it to end.. But I don't want to have to be here for the rest.. I can't leave them.. But i can barely stay with them.. I'm ready to leave but I can't leave without them.. I have to stay longer.. Even though it's hard I have to try.. So i started to try to breathe. It was hard. Really hard.. But I have to do it.. I have to do it for them.. I can't experience it again.. Especially not when they need me the most. I started breathing more normal. And soon enough I was breathing. It was a weak breathe but at least I'm alive. "Yes! Please keep on trying! I know you can do it Juice!" those words made me try even harder. Sooner than I thought I was sitting up breathing normally." you did it..! " Panther said." y-yeah I d-did" I said coughing after. Then I saw something.. Something was near the stairs.. I got up..  And said" go away"   "leave me alone! " I looked up to see it's grey eyes looking back at me. "Get the fuck away from me and my friends now!" I said walking towards it. "I don't need you hurting me again!" I said staring it straight in the eyes. "What is it Juice?" Tb asked. "It's..him" I said still death staring him. "Who there's nobody there?" Squishy said. "There is you just can't see it" I said back. "What do you mean we can't see it?"  Dahlia asked. "It's something only I can see."
